Dear Girl please listen to me. A white person can never steal your identity. Don't assume that because they walk, talk, act or dress a certain way that they are trying to act black. How does one act black anyway? By saying things like this you are perpetuating stereotypes by suggesting that all black people behave in the same way. This means that we must believe some image that has been portrayed by the media about black people? In the U.S. every person has a right to choose their clothes, friends, music and attitudes. But we as blacks need to support each other and not allow anger to perpetuate racism, stereotypes and intolerance. I went to a mostly white school and spoke proper English rather than slang; it really bothered me growing up that some black people would say I thought I was white. I am very aware of my ethnicity and very proud of who I am. Despite the struggles that blacks have had I wouldn't want to be any other race. And I warmly embrace anyone who can appreciate my culture and want to learn more about us, regardless of skin color.

Black people have been forgoten as that. PEOPLE. Our mannerism common attitude and principles have been adopted or rather stolen from us and made in to pop culture. People tend to forget that we act the way we act not because its popular or tendy its a survival instinct, so we are not victims of anothers will or pressure. Our ways are blood born and grown throughout the generations to prevent us as a people from being stepping stones. Sadly its not working someone saw it as profitable to put our history and culture on tv. Damn has it made money. BIG MONEY. Whats funny is most of those companys have a white owner. Slavery 500 years later. So why do races switch up... Art imitating life.

I think anyone can act any way they want. If white people "act black" and others accept them as not being fake, that's fine and how can whites have 1/2 of your men, each relationship between 2 people of different races may have enough children who don't want to pass judgment on either group, which may extend tolerant behavior to more and more people. I have ancestors who killed Catholics and in this century I have family members who are Catholic, that I love, so I know you don't agree but I think
when individuals marry outside their ethnic group, it's a good thing. As far as hate goes, it will always exist, but those people rot inside and you sound too intelligent to go that way.

Some people feel the need to act like those that they are around the most often. There were a few white girls in my high school that only dated the black guys. One in particular never changed her speaking ways, dressing, ect. There are very few that do not change their speaking or dressing ect.
Its just sad that you have to pretend to be something that you arent. Do these girls think they are cool when they do that? All it is is an act. Just an act. They need to get a grip on reality.

"i do in comparison to black adult adult males in my opinion. some are nice and eye-catching yet some say I 'act white'" So because of the fact of what occurred to you and a small handful of Black adult adult males, you think of each and every white guy or mexican guy is going to be nice to you and purely nice? mean human beings are available in all hues and ethnicities. Do human beings such as you unquestionably study their logic and reasoning?

Im black and white n this black, white, mexican...... stuff is stupid. You are who you are. If u like a style then follow. Black people should have to act "black" and white people shouldn't have to act "white." U do what you like and if other people dont like it then that sucks for them. Be you and dont try to live or not live a characeter, live and do what u want how u want to do it.

I think your just being really racist. One of my close friends is black and he doesn't listen to rap, he speaks clear english, wears a suit every day(though he does look silly in the summer), and he listens to classical. He's going on to get his Master's degree and I don't see anything weird about it at all.

That's what I say about gay people-if you are a man and is gay you don't have to dress in women clothing and women that are gay you don't have to dress in men clothing and they (gay men/women) also tries to talk and walk like the opposite sex that they are trying to be. Just be yourself and yes white girls please stop trying to talk black and wear your hair black(braids, twists, etc.), if you got a black man, act the same way as if you were with a white man.
